description
The MSP50C604 is a low-cost, mixed-signal processor that combines a speech synthesizer with a dedicated
slave interface logic, general-purpose I/O, onboard ROM, and direct speaker-drive in a single package. The
computational unit uses a powerful new DSP that gives the MSP50C604 unprecedented speed and
computational flexibility compared with previous devices of its type. The MSP50C604 supports a variety of
speech and audio coding algorithms, providing a range of options with respect to speech duration and sound
quality.
The device consists of a micro-DSP core, embedded program and data memory, and a self-contained clock
generation system. General-purpose periphery is comprised of 16 bits of partially configurable I/O.
The core processor is a general-purpose 16-bit microcontroller with DSP capability. The basic core block
includes a computational unit (CU), data address unit, program address unit, two timers, eight-level interrupt
processor, and several system and control registers. The core processor gives the MSP50C604 break-point
capability in emulation.
The processor is a Harvard type for efficient DSP algorithm execution, separating program and data memory
blocks to permit simultaneous access. The ROM has a protection scheme to prevent third-party pirating. It is
configured in 32K 17-bit words.
The total ROM space is divided into two areas: 1) The lower 2K words are reserved by Texas Instruments for
a built-in self-test 2) The upper 30K is for user program and data space.
The data memory is internal static RAM. The RAM is configured in 640 17-bit words. All memories are designed
to consume minimum power at a given system clock and algorithm acquisition frequency.
